Diet update ... A month ago, thanks to having my sister visit, I'd put a few pounds back on and weighed in at 19 stones 9lbs. I got on the scales today and weigh 18 stones 6lbs. Almost seven stones gone, just over eight stones to go.
I know I have some friends on here who are very supportive and keen to hear the latest.
For our non-British viewers ... a stone is 14lbs.

No, I think my top weight at the start of the year was 25 stones, I don't think I've ever been 26 but when you're that heavy, what's another stone and most scales don't go up there so I might have been.

Choccy, I'm a self-professed Ebeneezer. I don't buy any 'Christmas' food and don't go to any parties.

I am delighted for you Elaine, but reading the answer to the question about "is it right that fat people eat so much when there are starving in Africa?", I can't say I'm pleased about how you are doing it. One bowl of soup a day is serious stupidity, and a bright woman like you should know that.
I know you don't get to know someone that well on here, but I guess that with your solitary existence and your job as carer, you have a relatively inactive lifestyle. I'd prefer to see you go swimming 3 times a week and have three meals a day. You say that medication to help you lose weight stopped working, did you go back to the Doctors??
Also fast weight loss can be dangerous. Even though you may weigh so much, the loss of seven stone is the same as a small woman, and that is a giant loss, and even though you are still over 18 stone, that kind of loss if achieved in under one year can damage your heart, and is officially anorexia. Just because you are not some 5 stone skeletal teenager, doesn't mean you don't have the condition. And what that does is thin the walls of your heart, and if you are still carrying over 18 stone, you are straining your heart.
So please do this with the help of your GP, you are only in your early 40's, lets make sure that is only your half way point, and not the home strait!

You lost over seven stones? Wow, that is the weight of, say, a young teenager! That is amazing. You must be feeling so much better not to be carrying that amount of weight around on your frame. Keep up the good work - you'll look and feel fabulous.

Well done you, it's very hard to lose weight and you're doing brilliantly. Don't focus on having put on a few pounds, focus on how well you've done over all - you'll have lost the extra pounds again by next week. Congratulations!

i like how Islam focuses alot on good character and manners. the way it encourages forgiveness, to no longer talk as quickly as we are indignant, to assert what's sweet to stay quiet, to grin is an act of charity, to be form, help your neighbour, be humble and to no longer walk among the Earth in a conceited, conceited way and so on. Prophet stated, " on the Day of Judgement Allah will supply the colour of the ^Arsh (Throne), to seven, while there will be no colour however the colour of the ^Arsh. those seven people are; a purely ruler, a adolescents who has been reported interior the worship of Allah, a guy whose coronary heart is linked to the mosques, 2 persons who love one yet another purely for Allah's sake and that they meet and leave in Allah's reason purely, a guy who refuses the call of a captivating female of noble beginning for unlawful intercourse together with her and says: i'm terrified of Allah, a guy who provides charitable presents so secretly that his left hand would not be attentive to what his precise hand has given, and a guy or woman who praises (recalls) Allah in seclusion( privateness) and his eyes are then flooded with tears."
